RAIDS ON MANILA
MADE AT HEAVY COST TO JAPANESE AMERICAN COMMANDER’S TRIBUTE. TO MILITARY & CIVILIAN POPULATION. (By Telegraph—Press Association— Copyright) (Received This Day, 11.35 a.m.) MANILA, December 14. Army headquarters announced that Japanese planes carried out fourteen major raids in the first week of the war, but “paid dearly in ships, planes and troops.” At least two Japanese battleships were severely damaged, four transports sunk and three others damaged and at least forty Japanese planes were destroyed. General McArthur, reviewing the week’s operations, paid a tribute to the splendid morale of the military and civil population, adding that everyone was responding, not only courageously, but, what is more important, intelligently. The situation, both on the ground and in the air, he said, was well in hand. Rear-Admiral Francis Rockwell announced that the Cavite Navy Yards powerhouse was struck when Japanese planes raided Cavite on December 10.
